There are a great many people in the country, {rrespective of political alignments, who do not think highly of Pamer's adminis- trative record while a member of the government's personnel, The shipping fleet presented a problem ever since the close of the war. The government expended $4,000,000,000 struction and maintenance of mer- chant ships since its entrance Into the late war, which in late years have cost the government $35,000, 000 @ year in excess of earnings — and of the fleet has been operated.

We still have the tarift wall and the ships, and also the political jugglery that is a concomitant of thelr operation, such as are operated. a lower can here THE LIVELY BALL BIDS ADIEU The baseball league magnates ho dictate what kind of tools the perspiring athletes are to handle while earning their livelthood, evi- dently have come to the conelusion | that the “lively ball" has been en- | tirely too lfvely — something that | & large section of the public had believed for several years. Home runs were nice to look af, but when they came at the rate of half a dozen a day, and when quite ordinary batsmen, through the ac- cident were able to con- nect ' with sphere homers by merely letting the ball hit the bat, it was time to do some- thing ahout . The magnates for contended that the fans wanted heavy hitting. But it is doubtful if they wanted too much heavy hit- ting. The fans also llked to see the | pitchers get a square deal. The lively ball is still lively, but much less so than formerly. Home of luck, the and make several years runs are less frequent than they were. The fair hitter no longer will be on a par with the really good hitter. and more eye- sight and more science 1.

Tt appears that a wheat yield means a higher price for the preduct; the price has bpeen around thirty cents more than last year, lesser The only fly in the ointment, it appears, 18 that the higher price may stimulate the production of larger crops of wheat next year, with the possibility of a resulting depression in the price. The de- partment reluctantly reports that farmers who do not seem satisfied to let well enough alone intend to increase the rage of winter wheat by 4,000,000 acres over last year, When prices are high the farm- ers like to plant lots of wheat; then when they produce wheat the prices sag; and the fol- lowing year they produce less wheat, and the prices go up. caslonally the weather interferes with the carefully ealculated cycle, and then nobody can tell what will happen. o lots of Oc- A stork which flew about the strests of Paris failed to do its duty.
